Doxycycline is an antibiotic used to treat chlamydia infections. Doxycycline is normally the second choice treatment for chlamydia, behind another antibiotic, Azithromycin. Doxycycline is equally as effective as azithromycin, but whereas azithromycin is a single dose treatment, doxycycline treatment needs to be taken twice daily for 7 days, meaning it can be inconvenient for patients.

Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It is effective against a wide array of bacteria that are responsible for causing various types of infection. When being taken to treat the sexually-transmitted disease chlamydia; two tablets (2x500mg) are taken together as a single dose. A follow up course is not usually necessary. A 7-day course of Doxycycline will normally clear up most cases of chlamydia within 7 days. You can take another chlamydia test 14 days after your treatment to ensure the infection has cleared up.

Doxycycline is categorised as a prescription only medicine (POM). It is available as a generic tablet as well as the branded version Vibramycin-D. Doxycycline preparations can also be used to treat many different types of bacterial infections, such as respiratory infections, skin infections, ear infections and sexually-transmitted infections (STI’s), such as Chlamydia.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is imperative that you refrain from sexual activity, whether it be vaginal, oral or anal, even when wearing a condom, until you and your sexual partner(s) have been tested and have completed the treatment.

Doxycycline is a seven-day course and sex should be avoided both during this seven day period and the following seven days after the course of medication has finished, so as to avoid reoccurrence.

An antibiotic, doxycycline is used for the treatment of STIs (sexually-transmitted infections) and also for the prevention of malaria. It works by making the parasites or bacteria, which need to produce protein to survive, become vulnerable.

The body's immune system can then fight the infection and reduce the spread of infection.

The symptoms may relate to an infection in the urinary tract or, in women, could relate to endometriosis

If you have unprotected sex with someone who is infected, or not yet clear of an infection, you could become re-infected.

Antibiotics work well on sexually-transmitted infections so, if your condition has not cleared, seek advice from your local GUM (genitourinary medicine) clinic or your doctor. In this case, you may need a second chlamydia test about six weeks after the initial test.

It is very important that you both abstain from sex (even with a condom) until the treatment has taken effect and to wait two weeks from the start of treatment, by which time the infection will have gone.

In the UK, it is a prescribed medication only. If you attend The Independent Pharmacy for doxycycline, you will need to complete a medical survey and have your case assessed, before doxycycline will be prescribed.
